The Sindh government has made pre-license driving training compulsory for anyone seeking a driving license in the province.
The decision came during the 50th meeting of the Public-Private Partnership Policy Board chaired by Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah. The board approved multiple projects in the education, transport, and tourism sectors.
The meeting approved the establishment of HTV and LTV driver training schools across Sindh. Officials decided that authorities will not issue driving licenses to applicants who do not complete mandatory pre-license training.
The government set a target to train and issue licenses to 100,000 drivers within five years. The board also approved projects related to environmental tourism and forest protection.
Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah said the government will provide young people with internationally standardized training to improve their chances of securing jobs abroad. He also instructed authorities to speed up work on the Marble City Karachi project and said delays in its execution will not be accepted.
